    Highly Rated and Highly Regarded

    Posted by

    Al Rizzo has represented our business for many years. He has handled business and contract issues as well as litigation matters always successfully. And we have always been pleased with his professionalism and insight. However, the best thing about Al is how he approaches issues--methodically, carefully and always prepared. We would highly recommend him and his firm to every business owner.
